   Detrumpify yourself gains more traction in Europe. People avoid buying US made products or those produced by a US-based company.

   #BoycottTrump is trending in France and Germany

     @gbraad Well, Red Hat is a US-based company... So is Intel, AMD, and countless other necessary companies. Moving on from companies, the GNU Project was started in the USA... many free software developers live in the USA and are hurting all over,. => Adding more hurt isn't necessarily the best strategy. I'd say it's better to tell people to actually join a political movement of their choice, and get active making it better. US Dems and Reps have been ruinous for a few decades.

     @RuiSeabra it is an observation I make. Services and software is much harder to judge, especially when it comes to Open Source.

     But it is clear what many countries are doing; Tesla, McDonalds, coca cola, and many more have seen sharp declines.

     The idea of joining a party, does not help. He is not my president. The only hope is to have a gov that does not bend or give in, bu rather oppose and reject.

     Are you kidding me? Ever heard of the Marshall Plan? They've been at this game of interfering with other governments for their agenda since way before we were both born! :)

     @RuiSeabra unhealthy choices to begin with, so easy to cut and beneficial.
